Moving from a home of my entire childhood
I had lived until the age of 5 at my home country, then moved to my current country at age 5-6, lived for a little ofer a year at a condo, and then moved to a townhouse, which I have been living in for the past 11 or so years. I have graduated from elementary school, middle school, and soon highschool all while living in this house. To be honest the exterior of the house is a bit old and I have been embarrassed to bring friends over as a child going through puberty in early middle school, but I no longer have such thoughts and I love this house and my decorated room. I knew my parents had been searching to buy a singular house that is not a townhouse for a while now, but two weeks ago, they suddenly announced that they signed a contract for a house in the same neighborhood. It really shocked me because neither me or my siblings were aware of the fact they found a house to buy - we didn’t even know where it was and what it looked like. That did slightly upset me because I was just hit with a ‘we are moving 3 months later’.. but since I still had 3 months, I kinda just left it at that. But suddenly, just yesterday, I was hit with a ‘we are moving in 1 month so start tidying up your things’. I do think all the sudden decisions made me overthink more, but to be forced to move out from the embodiment of my childhood remnants has been bothering me quite a bit. Of course I am happy to be moving to a better house, but a part of me… no, almost all of myself wishes to stay at this townhouse. It feels like biding forever goodbye to a childhood companion, also including the fact that my pet bunny that I had for 4 years also lived with us in this house. It feels as if the last remaining traces of my bunny, marks of my entire childhood, and all memories I have of this home will just disappear. How should I cope? It is so heartbreaking and I just can’t seem to handle it well.
